Bronx native Djinji Brown grew up traveling the world with his father, avant-garde saxophonist and ethnomusicologist Marion Brown. At the same time, his everyday life in the Bronx exposed Brown to all aspects of hip-hop culture, from music to graffiti to break dancing.

Throughout his career, Brown has been intrigued with everything from hard rock (as the front man for New York hardcore band Absolution) to hip-hop (as apprentice to Public Enemy producer Eric ‘Vietnam' Sadler). His first major production gig was the debut album for famed freestyle MC Supernatural. He also has worked with the Jungle Brothers, David Byrne, and a variety of underground rappers and poets.

In the fall of 2002, Brown released his debut album, Sirround Sound, through Seven Heads Entertainment. An eclectic mix of hip-hop, Afro, Latin, Caribbean, Dub, House, and Drum 'n Bass influences, the album is a throwback to the days of early hip-hop parks jams in the 1970s.
